From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Black Sabbath do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Skeletor2112 (talk) 04:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Black Sabbath. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Additionally, the reference section is reserved for sources used to write the article, not to advertise a book. Skeletor2112 (talk) 04:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from all of Wikipedia. Skeletor2112 (talk) 05:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure that you understand why your links are being removed from Wikipedia(judging from your comments left on Anger22's talk page). Please understand this is an encyclopedia, not a "list" or place to advertise your book. You said: "I am merely try to raise awarness to the fact that our book is out there" - and that is advertising, or "spam". Please see this article: What Wikipedia is not, and be careful - you are in danger of being blocked for linkspamming. Thanks, Skeletor2112 (talk) 11:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
